  • Lowering the age for communion is better in all ways possible, but mainly because it makes the recipient living a Holy Life in communion with God from an earlier age. And they also make the preparations for their first communion from an earlier age.

    In the well known apparition of a Lost Soul from Hell, this is said about the fact of the Pope lowering the age of communion:

    • The condemned soul speaking of her own communion, contrasting it with the lower age permitted afterwards: "The important thing is that we were not allowed to receive Communion until the age of 12. By then I was already absorbed in worldly amusements and found it easy to set aside, without scruple, the things of religion. Thus, I attached no great importance to my first Communion. We are furious that many children go to Communion at the age of seven. We do all we can to make people believe that children have insufficient knowledge at that age. They must first commit some mortal sins. Then the white Particle will not do so much damage to our cause as when faith, hope, and charity - oh, these things! - received in Baptism, are still alive in their hearts."

    Nice to have someone respond to my comment!

    As regards receiving communion at the age of seven, I don't imagine Pope St. Pius X foresaw that a time would come -- the time has been with us for quite a while now -- when the Sacrament of Holy Eucharist would be given to children on a wide scale basis before their receipt of the Sacrament of Penance.  What a diabolical deceit this has been, no doubt with grave diabolical implications and results as regards desensitizing children from an early age to sin.  Before the child was taught to purify his heart and soul by the Sacrament of Penance before his first Holy Communion.  Alas, no more!

  • From Herzl's pen;
    He is a good, coarse-grained village priest, to whom Christianity has remained a living thing even in the Vatican.
    and again;
    But he rejoined, and this time he was magnificent in his simplicity:
    "Our Lord came without power. Era povero [He was poor]. He came in pace [in peace]. He persecuted no one. He was persecuted.

    and again;

    The Pope listened, now and then took a pinch of snuff, and sneezed into a big red cotton handkerchief. Actually, these peasant touches are what I like best about him and what compels my respect.


    One way of describing holiness is to say that for that person, good, and for whom Christianity is a living thing. He also said that he was magnificent in his simplicity and that he compelled respect. Two thumbs up for Pope Pius X from Herzl.  
    thanks. I am very far from a Catholic book store but when I get near one will check him out

  • I believe it would mean right and wrong without having to consider God -- a form of morality based on naturalism.
    I think it refers to hedonists and the "if it feels good it must be good" crowd

  • 12. Modernism is the Fruit of Pride

    In his encyclical “Against the Modernists,” St. Pope Pius X makes several comments about modernism and pride. He comments on the modernists - many of whom are inside the Church - saying, “Finally, and this almost destroys all hope of cure, their very doctrines have given such a bent to their minds, that they disdain all authority and brook no restraint; and relying upon a false conscience, they attempt to ascribe to a love of truth that which is in reality the result of pride and obstinacy.” The good Pontiff speaks of pride the most, however, under the subsection “The Cause of Modernism.” The quote at hand is taken from this section, “No, truly, there is no road which leads so directly and so quickly to Modernism as pride.”

    Modernism is Defiant, Rebellious and Unrepentant.  Although it is a matter of degrees, because some are more "modern" than others.

    Yeah, I think our senses would tend towards that.
